Friday my Small Fruit Box arrived from a local delivery service. I missed the delivery guy and they only packed the box with one extremely tiny already melted ice pack - which I return to them when my next delivery comes. I think next time I'll leave out a cooler and put my own ice packs inside.
I was pleased with the variety of organic fruits in the box. 3 of everything except the less used citrus fruit, plums and avocado. The strawberries were not in the best shape, I think I only managed to salvage half the box so I won't be adding them next time, they also tasted shelved (they were actually horrible), I think I'll keep my visit to the grocery store for berries and quick spoil fruits. Here it is only Tuesday and the girls and I have already devoured most of this selection. While this size box was designed to feed about 3 people (and we are 5) I don't think ordering a bigger box would be smart - because these are truly fresh (near peak) and therefore won't last long, definitely not 2 weeks but I can shop in between or add another box The fruit is tasty and clean but, I'm not sure that it was worth the amount I paid for it. I'll have to make a run to the grocery store this week and buy the same amount and kinds of fruit (organic) and find the price differential and determine if delivery is worth it (factoring fuel as well!) I must say this was worth the experiment and definitely has given me some ideas to add to our repertoire anyway!
In the mean time, we are furiously packing to move. In about 5-6 weeks we'll be changing homes. I've been packing since mid-May, and this room is finally nearly done. Some of these shelves were double lined with paperback and hardback books and this is all that remains. There are 2 additional similarly sized bookshelves on the other side of the room.
I'm expecting my nature box in the next day or so. They emailed me to tell me it was on its way!
